angry tapir writes "The company behind the .xxx top-level domain plans to launch a search engine in an effort to drive more traffic to .xxx websites and give pornography fans a more satisfying search experience. ICM Registry, which operates the 9-month-old .xxx TLD, is scheduled to launch Search.xxx this week, said Stuart Lawley, ICM's CEO. The new search engine will give users a more streamlined searching process, help protect them from viruses and malware and help guard their privacy, he said. The search engine has cataloged 21 million webpages from .xxx sites, he said. 'It's porn, only porn, all porn,' he said. 'There's as much porn there as anyone would need, I'd imagine.'"

Thanks to the Internet, women have found that there is a *huge* demand for their bodies, and that they don't even have to leave their rooms to provide that demand and to obtain whatever people are prepared to trade in return for it.

So while fifteen years ago you were competing against the guys in your neighbourhood in person, today you're competing against the world with a webcam.

The entire premise is stupid. There is no such as "too much porn" because people have different interests. While you can pretty much find anything - and if you can't, there's people who do clips when you order from them - some niches can still be quite small. And let me tell you, people love their niches. For example I like japanese massage porn. If that's what turns me on, then hairy grandmas 58 isn't going to help much.

I once fixed someone's computer and found his porn stash on there (it wasn't exactly well hidden). There was gigabytes of it... ALL of which was facial cumshots. Definitely a clear interest in that one.

You sir have grossly underestimated the Internet porn surfing public. Additionally, if this TLD gets really big and makes good on it's promise, I'm upping the ante to a six monitor configuration as opposed to the current two.

Hmm, I wonder. You see, the porn industry has been complaining for a long time about hard times (yes, I know, a pun of sorts, but not intended). I think the truth of the matter is that pornography only really attracts those who have been unable to find anything better in their lives, which is really sad. Pornography seems always to be disappointing - plasticky looking Ken and Barbie types mechanically doing things and looking utterly bored. I am, by the way, from Denmark, where people are incredibly open-minded and at it all the time, everywhere, as we all know, so I know what I am talking about.

Sex is nice, but vastly overhyped. Like anything enjoyable, it becomes trivial when you have had enough, and that happens much sooner than you imagine as a teenager; and it's a good thing really, because there is so much more to life than screwing around.

You quite clearly don't get out much. The great thing about internet porn is the variety. Yes there is plasticky bored looking good looking people having sex, but there is also ugly people, amateurs, young, old, fat, skinny, gay, trannies, hairy, shaved, dwarves, giants, every race, colour, creed all doing all sorts of things to each other for your pleasure. Everyone has different desires and pornography caters to most of them.

Well clearly you don't since your view of porn is severely limited.

Thank you for you thoughtful response - I was of course being a bit provocative. I guess I hoped people would realise when they saw my rather immodest self-assessment.

What always irritates me when the talk is about sex or pornography, is this constant teenage giggle and the Beavis & Butthead style comments, and I thought somebody ought to give a bit of counterplay. I know there is more than Ken and Barbie out there, and I particularly enjoy the beauty of the natural women on display - but looking at sex

"Porn is very personal," he said. "You may have been looking for Brazilian midget transsexuals, and you're sitting there at home with your kid or your wife saying, 'Let's go on a holiday to Brazil,' and the next thing, it's suggesting Brazilian midget transsexuals from your previous Google search history."

I guess that's still better than having your family accidentally bump into the midget transsexuals during the family trip to Brazil:)

I always wanted an 'Unsafe search' option. If safe search removes all the pervy links from a search, I want a button that ONLY returns pervy results.

I really want to see what Google returns with 'unsafe search' turned on for truly boring and mundane words like 'Baseball', 'Database', or 'Tax return'. I bet you could find some pretty fucking weird sites with that feature....

Someone has already done that. I don't remember the URL, but what they did was submit your query to Google twice, once with safe search on, and once with safe search off, and then present you with the differences.

You want to be careful with that on image search. I once did a search, admittedly for pedobear cartoons, and some actual child porn came up. I was at work. You've never seen the ctrl-w button being hit so bloody fast. (and yes, I did report it to the IWF later).

. Not that I wouldn’t love to interview Nina Mercedez and Mr. Lawley about competitive search engine marketing and optimization for its clients, or their opinions on determining user intent, especially as related to current trends in semantic search among their competitors. Because I think that would begood fun.

The post you link to seems to make the claim that this isn't news worthy inherently because it was told to her in the form of a press release, which makes very little sense. Any real journalist would consider the story objectively, and if they disagreed with the company's standards which she seems to do write a negative post about it. Which she did. So was she suckered in then? After all, her entire post is about that very same press release.

I don't see anything wrong with a desire to categorize information on the Internet. Yes,.com porn will still exist, but if the company that owns.xxx can keep the sites under it in check and make it a safe place to find porn, I think that will attract more people than ever, which in turn draw more to the domain. I like to think of it as the Las Vegas of the Internet. So long as the place can be kept within a certain degree of control, it's all good to let loose.

I know a couple people who have registered a lot of.xxx domains and are planning on mirroring junk sites like churches and stuff.

I guess their master plan is to get real porn providers to eventually buy them in order to protect their.com names or something. It won't be long before the.xxx domain landscape is just as useless as anything else.

This could work out well. One of my main criticisms behind the whole xxx TLD has been that it wouldn't really lessen the amount of porn under other TLD's. Having a search engine designed for it, especially if they limit the results to only the xxx TLD, would give incentive for companies to migrate over to xxx.

The fuck, are you guys all still fourteen years old, sitting there snickering over how clever you are because you switched around a couple letters and now nobody will realize what you're REALLY talking about? Jesus.

Pr0n is slang for pornography.[1] This is a deliberately inaccurate spelling/pronunciation for porn,[14] where a zero is often used to replace the letter O. It is sometimes used in legitimate communications (such as email discussion groups, Usenet, chat rooms, and internet web pages) to circumvent language and content filters, which may reject messages as offensive or spam. The word also helps prevent search engines from associating commercial sites with pornography, which might result in unwelcome traffic.

WoW will actually "bleep" "Pr0N" if you have the obscenity filter turned on. Funnily enough it won't bleep the www.livegoatporn.com link that I often post to guild chat or general. Some domain squatter took over that domain years ago and has just been squatting on it. Apparently doesn't know what he has, or something.

"Porn is very personal," he said. "You may have been looking for Brazilian midget transsexuals, and you're sitting there at home with your kid or your wife saying, 'Let's go on a holiday to Brazil,' and the next thing, it's suggesting Brazilian midget transsexuals from your previous Google search history."

Yep. All the time. Who doesn't go scouring the web for Brazilian midget transsexuals just weeks before they take a family trip to Brazil for the holiday? Surely every straight man that has ever lived who respects his wife, his family, and his own masculinity has done it...

They will implement the new feature called (eat this one, Google) called "the eye gesture".

If you type "brazillian vacation", you will get those search results. If you do the same search but use your previously set gesture (eyes up, left, up, down, center, right, center - or whatever), it will give you those good.xxx results you're droolin' for.

and I wish I had no connection with this whole sordid business. But as the moral — repeat, moral — integrity of the United States is involved, I must first establish my credentials. Only thus will you understand how, with the aide of the late Dr. Alfred Kinsey, I have unwittingly triggered an avalanche that may sweep away much of Western civilization.

What would be cool is if you join forums and use your email address in the.xxx namespace and you end up getting spammed but for stuff you actually need.

Nice, nice.

How about adding an additional feature to that - so one doesn't have to get spammed all day and sift through it (oh, god, will there be a LOT), how about having a "spam me now" feature that turns spam delivery on so you can use it to your heart's content, and a "delay spamming" to pause it until later?

Hell, there will be so much that there isn't much to lose on the pusher's part.:)
